AB - The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Google Scholar (GS) can substitute Web of Science (WoS) for those who don’t have access to the subscription-based indexing service and if users feel GS is useful for scholarly information. To achieve the research purpose, the study evaluates both quantitative and qualitative aspects of the two databases. The major results through statistical analysis show that GS indexes much more records and citations for LIS journals than WoS(p < .01), but users’ feedback about GS is not better than those about WoS.
